This is an Android role on Reddit’s Design System Team. The mission of the Design System Team is to deliver a cohesive, modern and accessible experience across all of Reddit’s platforms.
As a Senior Android engineer on the Design System Team, you will help evolve Reddit’s cross-platform design system and UI architecture that powers experiences across the company.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with product teams, designers, and engineers to ensure the design system and UI infrastructure effectively support real product needs.
- Improve performance at scale, contributing to Android architecture, rendering patterns, and performance-focused development practices that make performance a built-in feature of the platform.
- Advance accessibility across the platform, building accessible components, patterns, tooling, and documentation that help teams adopt accessibility best practices by default.
- Strengthen developer experience, contributing to shared tooling, documentation, and platform improvements that help engineers build reliable, consistent UI across Reddit’s products.
You Have:
- 6+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of leading cross-functional projects and delivering solutions with broad product impact.
- Experience building and maintaining shared UI infrastructure, such as design systems, component libraries, or frontend infrastructure used across multiple teams.
- Strong experience with modern Android development using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, with expertise in UI architecture, scalable component design, and performance optimization using tools such as Instruments.
- Familiarity with accessibility best practices and an interest in building components, tooling, or documentation that help teams ship accessible experiences by default.
- You embody Reddit’s core value of “Evolve” — you embrace ambiguity, seek feedback, and continuously improve your craft and the platform you help build.
Benefits:
- Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits and Income Replacement Programs
- 401k with Employer Match
- Global Benefit programs that fit your lifestyle, from workspace to professional development to caregiving support
